    I had been registered for DND from the beginning, and allows only calls/SMS of transactional service. However I keep getting messages and calls from unknown callers who claim to have got my number through digital marketing, and also SMS from various numbers/codes

    Whenever I raise an issue with Airtel, they have few standard responses
    1. the number belongs to another provider
    2. The messages are of type service

    I even tried to raise an appeal, stating that the SMS are not of type transactional, and transactions means that it should be OTP, balance, amount paid, ticket booked etc and not loan offers, property offers etc, but there is no stopping of these spam calls or SMS's

                Dear sir, there is a Airtel broadband junction box and pole installed in front of my building without my knowledge. It is causing great inconvenience to me. Request you to inform Airtel to shift the box and pole to some other location that doesn’t cause inconvenience to other owners as well.

My alternate number is [protected], mail id:[protected]@gmail.com.Please resolve this soon.

                    Would like to lodge a serious complaint against AIRTEL recovery agent

                    Today morning their recovery agent called me from a land line number "[protected]" for my outstanding bill for number "[protected]"

                    I talled him gently that I will pay bill once my service gets deactivated but he kept on calling me continuously and threatened me, if i will not pay they will come at my home

                    It was really a horrible experience and I am really feeling harrassed and urge you to take serious action against that person and his agency

                    Request help with the name of this agency and recovery agent so that I can register a complaint in local police station

                    Regards

                          I am using Airtel prepaid service for the past 12 years and i am experiencing this issue since last one year, many times i am trying to talk to airtel customer care, its to much complex to raise a ticket to airtel thru 121, many time the 121 service does not accept the input request, its automatically disconnecting ..

                          I have no phone issue, i got another sim for different mobile network which is working fine .

                          Please help

                                Hello!
                                I made a transaction on Airtel's website for the recharge worth Rs. 449 dated 3rd March '21 for which the amount got debited but I was told my recharge failed. So, I contacted Airtel support regarding that and they assured me to proceed with a new recharge transaction and that the old disputed transaction's amount will be refunded back within 15 days.

                                I waited for the time being and still hadn't received any amount. So I contacted Airtel back and now they told me they haven't received any amount from my end and should contact my concerned bank.

                                I later contacted HDFC Bank regarding this disputed transaction and was assured they'll look into it and will get the amount back by 15th July '21.
                                The date has passed and I still haven't got my amount back.

                                Contacting the support is causing me a lot of strain and mental agony and I'm tired of going through this now.
                                It's been two months and still I haven't got any resolution for the transaction amount either from Airtel or from the bank.

                                I would really appreciate it if my amount gets refunded at the earliest or else I'll have to go with legal proceedings.

                                I have attached all the communication I've received from the bank and Airtel as well.
                                Also I am attaching my Bank statement for proof of transaction.

                                  I can’t verify upi payments until Unless I recharge only monthly packs - there’s no special pack for sms to verify upi payments.

                                    We have raised a request 3 days back to Airtel Broadband for shifting connection from one flat to another within same city and locality. We have been given TAT of 4 hours and no resplution is there since 17th July. They are reaching us for new connection but no resolution on our existing complaint.

                                      Hi Airtel Team,

                                      Please disconnect below landline/broadband on an immediate basis. I do need it anymore. I will wait till 24-July-2021. I will not be liable to pay any bill for this connection after that.

                                      Request you to disconnect the connection and not to harass me.

                                        I have iPhone and sometimes I just see a flash SMS that says 5 Rs deducted from my AC. Till now If can cumulatively say Airtel have dedicated more than 200 Rs. Without any service and nothing.
